Chapter 498 The Mirror of Erised

All living creatures have souls, no matter what there is no exception. Even Voldemort, who has rebuilt his body with the power of the Bewitching Monument, has soul fragments as the core.

Because of this, Voldemort is still Voldemort, not a puppet manipulated by the Bewitching Tablet.

And those silent people who have been devastated and full of fear in their hearts have very special souls.

The reason why they have a strong resistance to magic is precisely because their souls have undergone negative changes in the pain and torment, causing the magic power in their bodies to become manic.

Therefore, when facing the Obscure, the mysterious and rare soul magic is the most suitable choice.

With just one blow, Maca scattered more than half of the black mist rushing towards him, perhaps because he suffered too much mental shock, he retreated hastily.

Half of the black mist that was blown apart faded away, while the rest gathered up again, chasing after the fleeing black mist.

It was just a confrontation, and the unusually large black mist shrunk by a third of its volume.

Miss Shane, I...cough cough...I don't want to fight with you, why can't we stop and have a good chat? Maca didn't move, just stood in the direction of the door, blocking the other party the back road.

But even if he said so, the black mist that Helen transformed didn't intend to return to her human form. Although it was obvious that she was not an opponent, she was unmoved at all, hanging in the middle of the room and confronting Maca.

Well...well, Maca stared at the other party for a while, then shook his head, Ahem...then we won't talk anymore, I still have a lot of things to do...

As soon as the words came out, he raised his staff again. Seeing another huge phantom of a black skull rushing towards him at high speed, Helen, who was already on the alert, immediately dodged to the side, trying to avoid the terrifying attack.

It's not so good to be hit by that thing. Just now she even felt that the black mist, which was originally manipulated like an arm, was about to escape her control!

You know, she is different from other Obscures, and she is the only one who can completely control the form of Obscures without the brand of the Deathly Hallows. That manic and violent feeling made her feel as if she had returned to her childhood.

However, she did dodge, and she did so very quickly. But who would have known that the phantom of the skull could turn corners——Maka waved her hand casually again, and she was bumped into by the incomparably swift black shadow.

Originally, soul magic had no sound, but Helen seemed to hear a mournful cry from her own soul. In a dizzy dizziness, no matter how difficult she was to control the black mist, it was out of her control in a blink of an eye.

But even so, the inexplicable energy didn't run away, but retreated back into her body silently, dormant secretly.

It's not that those energies don't want to cause riots, their instinct is to coerce the spirit of the ontology to destroy everything unscrupulously. It's just because of Maca's soul magic that Helen's soul has also become unstable, and the restless energy has no necessary support, so it is not threatening for the time being.

After the black mist surged and shrank, Helen's body reappeared in front of Maca. She fell to the ground weakly, her face looked paler than before, it was obvious that her spirit had suffered a lot.

Maca glanced at her, coughed twice, and then walked towards the corner of the room. Around him, a ring of runes made of ancient runes swirled gently, adding a sense of mystery to himself.

The space between this resplendent and resplendent chamber pot is already a mess, but even so, the brilliance is still so bright that it can dazzle people's eyes. If you rely on a pair of eyes to find, it must be difficult to find what you want.

But why do you need to look for Maca with your eyesight? As early as just now, he had already sensed that obscure wave of magic power, which was particularly noticeable in this room full of chamber pots.

Soon, he waved his staff and moved away a stack of chamber pots placed in a corner, and immediately revealed a floor-to-ceiling ancient mirror hidden behind it.

The bronze-colored frame like an arch is slightly inclined, and a faintly misty mirror is inlaid on it. The frame is carved with slightly rough patterns and many small rune symbols.

Apparently, this is the goal he pursued after all his efforts - the Mirror of Erised.

It would be a lie to say that Maca didn't want to take a look at the mirror. Because he was actually quite curious, what exactly would he see in this mirror?

And now, he finally saw it.

Hahaha...cough cough...hmph... He couldn't help laughing after only one glance, but the laughter was mixed with some coughing sounds and a little helplessness.

He suddenly raised his head and glanced at it. On the arch circle at the top of the magic mirror, there was such a line of clear words: Erisedstraehruoytubecafruoytonwohsi.

If you turn the whole sentence upside down and add some hyphens, it is not difficult to find that the meaning of this line of text is...

What I show is not your face, but the desire in your heart. Maca looked up at the line of letters, reading each word backwards, but secretly shook his head in his heart.

If I have to say it, the effect of the Mirror of Erised is really amazing. The desire it shows is also the most urgent wish of Maca now, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Right there in the mirror, he saw himself sleeping—sleeping soundly, in Hogwarts Castle, in his own office.

Isn't this the scene he desires most now?

Just when Maca laughed at himself for this, he tilted his head slightly and frowned slightly. Not for anything else, just because the girl who was languishing on the ground behind him was trying her best to crawl towards him.

It's really persistent... Maka said, and was about to turn around, but he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, which made him stop turning around, Huh?

In the corner of the mirror, the girl's figure also appeared. No, or in other words, the strange energy dissimilated from the silent man's magic power appeared in the mirror... in the form of black mist.

Logically speaking, this kind of magic that reflects the spirit and soul can only be viewed from one's own perspective. In other words, it is impossible to see what others see in the mirror, or the image of others.

Maca, who has a lot of research on soul magic, knows this very well.

But now, in the image he saw, something else appeared. As far as this point is concerned, it obviously does not conform to the most basic magic theory.

Obviously, this mirror really has other uses.

After a little thought, Maca understood the reason why Snape called this girl the key. Obviously, this energy was the key to destroying the Mirror of Erised and opening the seal.

He didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately swung his staff, knocking Helen completely unconscious, then opened his waist pocket, took out the folding tent, and moved the Mirror of Erised in its entirety.

There might be times when this thing needs to be used, even if it is not used, for the sake of safety, he can't leave it here casually.

After packing everything up, Maca cast a floating spell, bringing the unconscious Helen by his side. But he didn't leave immediately, but pointed to the golden chamber pots that fell on the ground with his staff.

In an instant, a large number of chamber pots rose into the air under his control, spun and gathered together, and amidst the clanging sound of collisions, they turned into a raging cloud of black mist.

In the black mist, even those spark-like red light particles were clearly discernible, and they were indistinguishable from the form of the Obscure that Helen transformed into.

And what he had to do next was to wait for a while—waiting for a signal to arrive.

...

More than ten minutes later, in the River Edge area of ​​New Jersey, USA, in the secret manor where the Obscure was.

...Greenwald is trying to trick you with falsehoods! He had this dark wizard send a girl to Hogwarts, and he wanted to make—

Under the effect of the replay spell, Zoe, who appeared in figure, was trying to tell Maca the truth she had learned from the memory of the old wizard Lenny. But before she could finish speaking, Greenwald, who was far away, had already controlled Old Lenny, and instantly blew away Zoe's figure with a magical power.

That's not okay... How can a small replay spell reveal the truth? Sure enough, old Lenny is just an ordinary wizard...

Greenwald...

Hello, we meet again... Greenwald, who controls the dark wizard Lenny, said calmly, Although I really want to have a good chat with you. But I'm sorry... There are still some things here, which are not suitable for talking now...

As soon as he finished speaking, even Maca didn't have time to react, suddenly there was a surge under the old Lenny's skin, and then it exploded decisively into blood and fragments that filled the room.

It was at this moment that the other Maca who was on the side of Hogwarts Castle paused slightly. He knew that the mark set on the old man in advance had been destroyed...

In other words, the time to do it has come!

He quickly put a disillusionment spell on both himself and Helen, and then waved his staff, and the black mist that was transformed by the transformation technique immediately followed his footsteps and rushed out of the Room of Response, with an extremely violent attitude. He rushed in the direction of the school hospital.

Ahem... It's time to call myself back at this point in time... He said secretly in his heart as he ran forward.
